Three Lessons from High School

Published by Anthony Chivetta on April 28, 2008 in Learning. Tags: lessons, personal relationships, roles, success.

I recently gave a talk to my high school titled “Three Lessons from High School”. As a senior who will be graduating, I took the opportunity to share with my school the things I learned during my journey from a freshmen struggling to stay in school to the reasonably successful senior I am today. I hope that you might enjoy my video of the presentation (9 minutes) below.

Great presentation. Rather typical life improvement banter that you hear in a high school, though it may make a little bit more impact coming from a fellow student...

Mr. Chivetta:

Another “Top-Notch” piece of work.

Much continued success!

Best,

Jim

Anthony, that was a wonderful presentation. We’re never too old to hear the wisdom of life lessons. To me the presentation was less about “what you want to do” than what kind of person do you want to be in the world.

Are we going to be the type of persons for whom the experience of living is a journey, teaching us something new about ourselves? Are we willing, are we that committted?

Wonderful speech. Congratulations! Christy

Hi, Anthony, and thanks for sharing your work with us! Do you know what the run-time is? This might be helpful information to share in the future, as those of us who might be trying to squeeze this into our tight in-class timelines...

I’m ashamed to say it, but I feel I have to - you lost my attention. I watched it, but it was rather reluctantly for the last [perhaps] 3.5 minutes.

Important concepts - you could present them in a way that’s more interesting.

Regretting my attention span,
